Rock Hill cemetery is located in the Reese community near Jacksonville, Texas. It is on the north side of US Hwy 175, directly across from the Reese cemetery. It is very well maintained and is easily accessed. With marked burials that began in 1902 it is still in use at this time. This cemetery is used by people of African-American descent, and is associated with the Rock Hill Baptist Church which was organized in 1897. Most rows are well defined but some contain empty spaces or unmarked graves. The cemetery marker survey was done Nov, 1996 by Gaylon White and published in 1997 by the Cherokee County Genealogical Society.
